Have you ever used Kahoot? This FREE website can be used with computers, cell phones, iPads, or iPods, so it's very versatile, even if your school doesn't have 1:1 technology. You must have an interactive whiteboard or a projector in order to use it, however. First of all, go to getkahoot.com and create your free account. This is where you will create all of your Kahoots. You can make quizzes (this is what I use all the time), do a quick poll, or create a survey.
This site is SUPER easy to use! You just type in your questions, add a photo or graphic (if you choose), put in the answer options, select your correct answer, and go on to the next question. Once you're finished, there are a few additional options to choose from if you'd like. You can rearrange your questions too. Then, you're good to go!
Working with Title I students, I'm always looking for fun ways to review for tests, and this website does just that. But, you don't have to only do it in small groups! I've done it with my 5th graders as a whole class, and it's a ton of fun! Everyone loves playing games to review for tests, and this site also puts a little competition in the mix. The student who answers correctly with the fastest time gets the most points assigned for that question. After each round, the points for the top students are displayed, but students can also see where they stand from their device too.
When you are ready to project your Kahoot, you will click on it in your account and launch it. Then, the website address and game pin will project on your screen. This is what students will use to sign in.
They will click on what they think the correct answer it, everyone will finish, and the correct answer will be displayed on your screen. It's incredibly engaging, and it allows time for teachers to review the correct answer because you click "next" whenever you're ready!
This is just one of the ways I review for tests/quizzes in my room. I hope it's useful to you in yours!!
